ASSOCIATED STUDENTS AND SAFE PLACE & WELLNESS PROGRAM HOLD CAMPUS WELLNESS FAIR

The Butte College Associated Students and Safe Place & Wellness Program will host a Wellness Fair March 11 – 13, 2013. Activities will be taking place at the Butte College main campus, 3536 Butte Campus Drive, in the Campus Center Lounge and Arts Building Black Box Theater. This event is organized to help students check in with all areas of their wellness by focusing on physical, financial, professional, community, environmental, social and spiritual wellbeing. These events are free to Butte College and local community members. Parking is available.

Keynote speakers, Cindy Wolff, Glynda-Lee Hoffmann, and Greg Cootsona will each address different areas of wellness tailored to the community college environment. Each of these speakers were participants of the TEDx Talks Chico event last October and will provide a short presentation with a question and answer section.

Cindy Wolff is the founder and Executive Director of the Center for Nutrition and Activity Promotion at California State University, Chico. Wolff created many successful public health programs designed to promote healthier eating and physical activity patterns to help prevent child and adult obesity. Central to these programs is the application of behavioral economics to identify and implement decision design strategies that make the healthier choice, the easier, more convenient choice.

Glynda-Lee Hoffmann is a published author and co-director of the Hoffmann Learning Research Institute (HLRI). Hoffmann will explore how to use the brain to increase learning.

Greg Cootsona is an Associate Pastor for Adult Discipleship and has discovered the critical role of finding the right rhythm of “yeses” and “nos” for full spiritual, personal, and professional development. Cootsona will focus on teaching this rhythm of yes and no.
